Maple-Glazed Salmon Bowl

Ingredients

















Method


  • 1Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, Sriracha, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper for the salmon glaze. Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush generously with the glaze.


  • 2Cook quinoa: Combine rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Stir in 1 tbsp lime juice and chopped cilantro.


  • 3While quinoa cooks, prepare plantains: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add sliced plantains and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.


  • 4Bake salmon for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness, or until cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. You can brush with additional glaze halfway through cooking.


  • 5Prepare avocado crema: In a small food processor or with a fork, mash the avocado with Greek yogurt, remaining 1 tbsp lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth and creamy. If desired, stir in red pepper flakes.


  • 6Assemble bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa among four serving bowls. Top each with a maple-glazed salmon fillet, a portion of crispy plantains, and a dollop of fresh avocado crema. Serve immediately.

Notes


  • Substitute brown rice or couscous for quinoa if preferred. Ensure gluten-free soy sauce (Tamari) is used for a gluten-free meal.

  • For extra crispy plantains, you can air-fry them at 190°C (375°F) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.

  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the glaze and red pepper flakes in the crema to your desired level of heat.
